This time of year,this day every Chinese household in Asia or Chinese speaking world are celebrating Dong Zhi,to welcome Winter Solstice .Tong Yuen or Dong Yuen is served in this special day:Dong Zhi.This year I decided to use natural food coloring instead of Wilton's food coloring to make the colorful dong yuen.My daughter Mishu requested pink color balls..Well,I wanted to use beets as pink color but afraid of the unwelcome strong flavor..Instead of beets ,I used juicer to extract fresh strawberry which the downside is the strawberry fruit color is not bright enough.For the green color, I used green apple but realized later the green color extracted from apple is not really green enough.So I mixed the apple juice with green tea powder(match) to make the green color look nice.As for the orange color I used carrot juice..Fresh carrot is relatively cheap and the good news is the color is really bright as well.The bad news is my blue color from bunga telang (Blue Pea/Clitoria Ternatea) is not blue enough.I think I didn't add enough flowers or I didn't soaked the flowers long enough..Another good news are the glutinous ball is very bouncy and soft.Let's me tell you a secret : I used the same method as making sweet bread !!

1:Mix 100 gm flour with hot water in a small bowl.Knead until the dough is not stick to hand,divided to 4 parts and set aside.

2:Mix individual flour part with each fruit juice and dough started ,knead well.Make sure the dough is not sticky to hand,if too sticky sprinkle some flour and knead again.Then roll out each flavor dough into small balls on a tray.

3:Prepare 2 medium stock pot with water at high heat.When water rolling boil add the flavor and colorful balls into the pot.Boil the ball for 10 minutes or until floated,then sieve it out.In another stock pot add in pandan leaves and rock sugar,simmer the syrup for 20 minutes.
